The creative movement program at Body In Balance Center was created to give your child a safe place to move, dance, and explore.

Movement is one of the many ways a child learns and can further enhance physiological, emotional and cognitive development. Your child will learn to work in a group and strengthen listening and movement skills in a non-competitive and success oriented environment.
 
Your child will be encouraged to use the body and mind creatively by integrating your child's own ideas with physical movement. We will work on developmentally appropriate skills in a fun and exciting format using many types of music and props.

These classes build self-confidence, help to develop respect for one another, and begin a life-long appreciation for dance and the arts.

Infant massage teaches the techniques to soothe and comfort your baby, promoting relaxation in you and your child while reducing stress for everyone.  Infant massage helps develop the skills to create healthy bonds, helping your baby to feel secure and become more self confident.  We offer two classes:

Both classes are limited to 5 parents and their babies.  Classes are 1 hour sessions for 4 weeks. Parents need to bring a blanket to lay your baby upon, food for baby and diaper change. 

Pricing:
$100.00/ baby and parent for all 4 weeks.

Infant Massage for Parents
Offered to both mothers and fathers, these classes teach relaxation techniques for both babies and parents.  Topics covered include the various massage strokes, bonding, understanding why a baby cries and learning how to read your baby's body language.  This class will also help develop a peer support group of other parents with young children.

Building Blocks for Dads
Children benefit immensely from affectionate interaction with both parents.  A nurturing father's behavior is more often associated with affection and praise and it acquires more reward value.  In a new baby's life father's are vitally important!  We have seen the importance of the father-baby relationship and wanted to offer a class that allows a father's relationship to grow and become nurturing.  This class will help Dads learn how to relax and respond tho their baby, understand how to read their baby's cues and explore the use of touch to facilitate bonding.  This class also offer fathers a chance to have their own peer support group and bond with other fathers and their babies. 

Knowing how hard it can be to find an exercise class to go to with your child once he or she starts to move, Body in Balance has designed a class specifically for parents with babies -including those who crawl and walk. 

The class will use a combination of Pilates and yoga fundamentals to stretch and tone the body.  All you need to do is show up with your child and we will provide the rest!  We have mats, props, and toys for the children to play with.  This is a great way to get in shape, connect with other moms, and learn how to" go with the flow" during this active phase of your child's development.

This class is also appropriate for expectant mothers as the principles worked on in class benefit both the prenatal and postpartum body and mind.

Bookbonds offers developmentally appropriate classes for parents and children newborn to 5 years old. Bookbonds offers interactive sessions in which parents and children read, play and sing with literacy focus. Each one hour class focuses on a different literacy related theme and all classes begin with a short read aloud by the insturctor and end with a "Bonding Book Club" where parents and children have time to read together.
